The practice of yoga is the strong pillar of our commune, we support consistent yoga study and practices with the support of other complementary healing processes developed from ancient Vedic-periodic therapies such as Charaka Samhita, Yoga Sutra, Ashta Vaidya etc, where a complete experience of yoga is created that optimizes its transformative potential. From traditional foundations, a distinctive, non-dogmatic approach to yoga has developed here, inspired by the new generation technology which is currently leading the evolution of this ancient science.

Our Grand fathers, Shivji and Babuji - the original founders- were childhood friends who found their connection through their parents who were migrating from Jodhpur, Rajasthan to Karnataka (then known as the Kingdom of Mysore). These families were faithful devotees of Lord Dhanvantri (Avatar of Lord Vishnu from the Hindu tradition, also known as the 'Great Physician' in the vedas study and as the God of Ayurvedic medicine). They were renown for providing Ayurvedic treatment known as 'Marma Chikitsa'(specific application of pressure on the body to induce vital energy flow for optimum physical, mental and emotional health); a method shrouded and sworn to secrecy as it is believed that 'marma chikitsa' was revealed to oneself in a dream and not to be spoken of...

However these physicians would impart Tantra yoga to their children(Shivji and Babuji) and guided them on their spiritual path. Despite having lost their parents at a very young age and familial responsibilities, Shivji and Babuji continue to pursue their desire of learning and thirst of yoga knowledge. And it was this innate desire for higher knowledge that finally led them to the meeting of Sriman Tapaswiji Maharaj in 1945, at an ashram near Nandi hill Bangalore, India. Tapaswiji was a great youthful saint of 150years who resembled more a 40-year-old.

As devoted disciples to Tapaswiji, Shivji and Babuji often described their guru as a true saint with a heart tender as a flower. They would spend many hours seated humbly by Tapaswiji's feet listening to great stories of his colourful, life-long journey, and on the benefits of 'KayaKalpa' (a unique technique which has allowed Tapaswiji to keep his youthfulness). Before Tapaswiji Maharaj renounce his physical body and took samadhi in 1955 (1770 – 1955), he blessed his devoted disciples Shivji and Babuji; advising them to return to their family life and to continue their yoga practice and to spread his teachings.

Though both friends died one after the other at an early age, the wonderful story of their tight-knitted friendship remains alive and popular among families and friends. And they left a living legacy with their children: Shivji's 4th son Rajendraji and Babuji's 2nd daughter Lakshmiji who were more inclined toward the practices of Yoga were married to carry forth the knowledge.

Rajendraji (Just Yoga Founder Ganesh's father) is a devoted Kundalini Yogi and Lakshmiji (Ganesh's mother) is a devotee of Japa Yoga. She is known to be sighted carrying Shiviji's 'magic stick', which she yields as a symbol of strength and dignity! Lakshmiji was also renown in her local community in Bangalore for her kind hospitality and teachings in the field of Japa, Upanyas and Bhajan gatherings at her home. Inspired by her husband Rajendraji, Lakshmiji popularise the concept of healthy mind in a healthy body, which jumpstarted their first yoga center in the 1980's. Thus was the beginning of a journey of yoga teachings inspiring different communities which incorporated million of students from the age of 3 to 90 years. Many of the yoga students are today full time Yoga Therapists spread globe-wide.

Under their parents' guidance, Ganesh and his sister Shama started practicing yoga at a tender age - they were born and brought up in an environment where Yama, Niyama, Asanas, Pranayama, Dharana, Dhyana, Samadhi were their nursery rhymes. Growing up, brother and sister would travel around India to learn and explore the aspects of yogi life and yoga culture with other teachers, gurus and therapist.Today Shamaji and Ganeshji are qualified yoga therapists and have developed a unique method to attend to a healthy body & mind - a devotion initiated by their forefathers for the development of the community.
